Need suggestions/inputs on 2006 350z purchase
Hi Everyone,
At last I am going to buy the car what I am looking for and I am one step behind from that gave deposit and going to get it on monday.
Dealer doesnt know what edition it is, whether it is base, enthusiast or touring.
When I took the car for a test drive i noticed it has heated leather seats, bose system, TCS.
1) Is there a chance for enthusiast to have bose, leather seats on request from the first owner? I want to make sure it is touring and not enthusiast or base model with upgrades to leather seats and bose system and TCS..
I ran carfax report and I noticed it has two owners. 1st owner from 09/2006 (Car registered at one state, CA and driven at another state, IN).
On 01/11/2010 car was sold in Auction as fleet vehicle and within 3 days 01/14/2010 vehicle is online listed for sale.
I searched on internet for "sold at auction as fleet vehicle" and came to know it might be rental, govt or some other company who owned it and I am guessing it will be rental car.
In 03/2010 2nd owner registered the car and now it is for sale.
2) If car was sold in auction on 01/14/2010 as fleet vehicle does it mean 1st owner is fleet or is it 2nd owner? And why is it listed as for sale within 3 days again?
Below are the details of miles the two owners had on the car:
1st owner: 09/2006 - 01/2010 (12,000miles)
2nd owner: 03/2010 - 03/2011 (10,000miles)
Below is the carfax:

I am new to this country and I am just trying to be on safeside before buying a car which was sold as fleet vehicle.
3) Finally I will be in US for 2 years and can I easily sell it after 2 years even though it is listed as fleet vehicle 2 years back? Even if I get 11k after 2 years I am more than happy.
It will be really great if someone gives me suggestions to buy the vehicle or not.
Thanks for your time.

"Fleet vehicle" probably means it was sent to auction by a dealer who took it in on trade. I wouldn't be concerned about that. The dealer probably had other cars more likely to sell soon, and didn't want to keep money tied up in the Z.
